Hi

I am trying to install Windows using HVM but I get an error
message that is totally useless and I am unable to figure out
what the problem is.

I just pulled xen-unstable.hg because nothing else supports my
CPU yet. So here is what I get when I simply try to create the domain:

I am booting a xen-3.3-unstable hypervisor built from xen-unstable so the
3.2.1 header is kinda strange tho.
